Red Carpet Convos: Critics Choice Easter Eggs
Saturday, January 14, 2012 at 4:00PM Awards season is truly upon us. The red carpets are unfurled and waiting for the glitterati to trample them. Tomorrow night is the Golden Globes (we'll be here live-blogging it old' style if you'd like to join us!) but for now one last look back at the Critics Choice Awards held Thursday night. For this edition of Red Carpet Convos I've invited Joanna Robinson from Pajiba to join me. Joanna is a longtime reader of The Film Experience (she even won a contest once years ago!) and a delightful person, too.
Nathaniel: Hey Joanna. Welcome. Let's start with the pastel field and uh... HAPPY EASTER!?!
Olsen, Pyle, Woodley, Miller, and KrugerJoanna: As faberge as Elizabeth Olsen looks, I think she looks better than her "fashion plate" sisters have looked in years.
Nathaniel: Give her time. If the Olsens practice hand-me-down fashions she's in trouble.
Joanna: I see burlap sacks in your future, girl! Also, whoever designed Diane Kruger's dress hates both women and their anatomy.
This is Joanna! Go read her stuff.Nathaniel: Speaking of women and their anatomy. We've gone so "exotic" for this red carpet convo. I'm speaking to a biological woman. Joanna: I have anatomy!
Nathaniel: What IS going on with that dress though. It's like her breasts are being caged in.
Joanna: And around her, um, lady garden? Are those horns? I am baffled.
Nathaniel: I was thinking it was a rare moment of restraint. The designer wanted to trap her vagina in as tight as her breasts but decided to go "subtle"
Joanna: Speaking of subtlety, I actually think Missi Pyle looks lovely. Really sweet.
Nathaniel: Agreed. Though sweet, lovely, and subtle aren't the adjectives I normally think of with Missi for which I entirely blame her for being so convincing and hilarious as a crude perpetually drunk and horny partier in Spring Breakdown. Tell me you've seen it!
Joanna: I haven't! But her larger than life performances in Dodgeball and Big Fish are enough to make me a Pyle fan. And her Lina Lamont impression in The Artist was perfection.
Nathaniel: Yes. I almost wanted there to be sound just so she could say "I CAINNNNNNtSTANNIT."
